Grocery Stores work in Fresno
Fresno is a grocery city with a long tail. The demand splits between the national chains that anchor the big shopping centres, the regional banners, and a dense spread of independent markets, ethnic grocers, halal and Asian supermarkets, carnicerias and produce stands that serve specific neighbourhoods. Searches come in two shapes: broad ones like grocery store near me and supermarket open now, and narrow ones that name a cuisine, a product or a street. The narrow ones are where an independent store can own the result, because the chain down the road is not writing about fresh tortillas on Blackstone or a produce box for a Tower District apartment. Paid search in this trade is dominated by the chains bidding on generic terms, which leaves the specific, local, product led searches to whoever publishes for them.
